Katrina is said to be at 175 MPH winds now. I would be be heading for Yankee land if I lived near Nawlins.//////////////Cancel going northeast, this may be a good time to visit California.Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to or

You could always head for Utah. I can't remember the last hurricane we had. We're not real big on tornadoes and floods either. They claim we're "due" for an earthquake but I was practicing earthquake drills 45 years ago in elementary school and it hasn't happened yet. The only problems I have is with the low humidity cracking all my bowls.

I've wished for years that life would take me to Nawlins for a few years, but right now I'm glad I don't live there. I understand that all roads now only lead out of the state and that the indigent of NO are to go to the dome to ride out the storm. We can only hope and pray at this point that everyone will be ok. 8)

Just looked at the projected path of Katrina and it looks like Rev, Philip, and all you others in the Kentucky, Indiana area better put some rocks in your pocket and have your bail buckets at hand. About all we can do now is hope and pray for this one to calm down and blow itself out. Hang in there everyone.

Hey folks, yes, best of luck to the folks in New Orleans (where the storm is churning as I write this at 8:45 CDT). Seems to be passing between N.O. and Biloxi. We lived in New Orleans for six years. Much of the city is below sea level. When we would take the children "up" to the river to watch the barge tows and ships passing by, we would cross Audubon Park from home, just across the Tulane campus, and would actually walk "up" to the river. The levee holds it up at that point. Without that levee, that part of the city would be part of the river. Strange circumstance. And Phil, Rev, Keith, Smoky, and all, I hope you can stay dry tomorrow!
